Acoustic glass.
Neighbour has just had their two ground floor original Victorian sash
windows replaced by a local two man business. And a very fine job they look to have made of it. Next door to them still has the originals, and they look just the same from the pavement. Including the curved glass tops to the upper sash - that most others don't bother with. And straight glass simply doesn't look as good with the curved brickwork. On complementing the neighbour, she said they'd paid extra for acoustic glass to the double glazing. Given the panel depth you can fit to a wood frame is limited, does this mean thicker glass which would make the air gap and therefore heat insulation poorer? They also opted for sash weights rather than springs. Total cost some £3750. Is that good value? -- *I yell because I care Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
